Energy Efficient Bathrooms

While remodeling or improving the energy efficiency of your bathroom, steps should be taken to minimize pollution from sources inside the
bathroom. In addition, Denver homeowners should be alert to signs of
inadequate ventilation, such as stuffy air, moisture condensation on
cold surfaces, or mold and mildew growth and use the remodeling project
to correct underlying problems. The bathroom is one of the most
resource-intensive rooms in the house. As the largest user of water and
a major energy consumer, it’s a great place to target to reduce your
home’s environmental impact. Here are some tips when remodeling your
bathroom:

Install properly sized ventilation fans to control moisture in the air while you shower or bathe. By removing moist air and drying out your bathroom, a ventilation fan helps prevent mold and mildew.

The walls behind tubs or showers are often poorly insulated and air-sealed. Opening these walls as part of the remodeling project provides an opportunity to ensure comfort by sealing air leaks with caulk or expanding foam and installing insulation. Also make sure to air seal around plumbing and electrical penetrations.
